“Michael had such beautiful hands, but most important about them was how many times he used them to hug, touch and hold someone…giving love and comfort.”

Ingrid Homolla

Michael said that Rose Fine used to say he had beautiful hands and, “I wondered, don’t all hands look the same.” Michael Jackson

“We only live once…since we are given the gift of life, it should be our persistent endeavor to immortalize ourselves, no matter what field of endeavor we choose.”

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson immortalized himself with a perfect storm of God-given talents. Using his gifts of physical and emotional beauty, he engaged our senses and jolted the music world out of the simple and into the complex. Breaking down artificial barriers was not only an outcome, but a perpetual goal. His global influence remains a constant in a world that boasts the chaotic. Those who travel the low road find his legacy incomprehensible, choosing cruel destruction to mask ignorance. Believing that music could bring about mass healing, that the power of the people could bring about change, Michael defined his journey into immortality with artistry of perpetual and forever love. And, again, those who found his path incomprehensible have chosen rumors that feed on public paranoia and insecurities to shape opinion. George Orwell put it best when he said, “The people will believe what the media TELLS them THEY believe.”

We have to ask ourselves this: Just how important is the truth?

As Michael championed the poor and oppressed, the suffering children of the world, many saw him as a danger. The more he accomplished as an ambassador of love, the more he traveled meeting millions of people, the greater his influence in all corners of the world…the greater the insecurities of the powers that be. Mark Twain’s words Travel is fatal to prejudice and bigotry…Michael was bringing the world to the people and the people to the world…we were seeing the blood inside him WAS inside us all.The beautiful hands Rose Fine talked about reached down inside the hearts and minds of masses of people, changing thought and direction. Once again, the media turned to its forces, twisting and turning, lying with misdirection, following their mantra: We deceive, you believe.

Scintillating headlines, which were cut and pasted over and over again, brainwashed, either by intention or subliminally.

We ask ourselves again…How important is the truth?

We have witnessed Michael’s immortal journey deciding, each for ourselves, to convert these realities into energy, knowing full well that with the immense joy comes gut-wrenching pain. Michael said himself that he would do anything to stand up and fight for children…to the point of crucifixion. We stand united while holding onto Michael’s beautiful hands…feeling the blows and the victories.

When Michael visited the Middle East in 2005, he insisted upon traveling to a remote village in Oman.

“It was so mountainous, so far from the city. All you could see was mountains. You see a guy walking a herd of sheep coming down the mountain. Myself, I’m thinking, what are we doing here? I don’t like this at all, but…people were coming, shouting MICHAEL JACKSON. Oh, my god, That’s what really showed me…even these people know this man. That is amazing.

This life don’t last forever

So tell me what we’re waiting for

We’re better off being together

Then being miserable alone

Cause I’ve been there before and you’ve been there before

But together we can be all right

Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold

We can hold each other til we see the morning light

I can tell you’re tired of being lonely

Take my hand, don’t let go, baby hold me

Come to me and let me be your one and only

We can make it all right til the morning

HOLD MY HAND

Michael Jackson

“I did not find Michael weird, messed up, or anything you’ve ever heard about him. All the allegations ever charged against Michael were false, and that in my discernment, HE DID NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO EVER DO ANYTHING EXCEPT LOVE CHILDREN AND LET THEM KNOW HE WOULD DO ANYTHING TO STAND UP FOR THEM AND HELP THEM. Just look at the magnificent work he did on their behalf, writing and co-producing WE ARE THE WORLD, and the 39 charities for children he gave to generously. That was Michael. I believe that during his trials he related to the suffering of Christ and prayed for intervention because he was being accused over what he loved most…CHILDREN. This caused him perhaps more pain than anything in his life.”

David Pack

We unite TODAY. We choose to educate the world TODAY. We accept the pain, that will no doubt bring us to our knees, TODAY. We choose the magic, wonder and joy of Michael Jackson TODAY.

What do I do on windless days when faith is not found, when my weary mind feels too tired to scream out and belief in me is spare? J.R.R. Tolkien said, “Not all who wander are lost.” Often, I resist that truth, encircled by doubt. Joseph Vogel describes Michael’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin” as a diverse array of sounds, idiosyncratic lyrics…in suggestive fragments, Michael sings of the madness and hysteria of modern life, ignored illness, mental breakdowns, unplanned pregnancies causing unfed babies, tongues like razors and being eaten off of like a buffet or vegetable.” During performance, the song and Michael whipped audiences into a frenzy…”damn near orgasmic.” Joseph Vogel

Social justice cries to the world…powerful still today. Michael released his fears for the world through his music, believing it would inspire the changes needed for healing. Paradoxically, while his performances ignited passionate fires, a sense of peaceful grace and sanctuary surrounded his private time…unparalleled drama electrified audiences, while Michael’s serene aura defined Hans Margolius’ words: “Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world.”

I often say that when I am in need of inspiration, Michael is the answer. His authentic and loving heart, along with his genius and dedication, ALWAYS elevate the weariness I may be feeling, providing me with layers of thought, offering answers. “YOU DON’T GET HARMONY WHEN EVERYONE SINGS THE SAME NOTE.” Doug Floyd A master of harmonies, Michael has inspired many to sing along. I have been gifted the talent of loving spirits who travel a path uniquely their own in PAYING MICHAEL FORWARD.

Today, as I navigate calm waters, enjoying the quiet between notes in my song, and, awaiting wind for my sails, I look for spiritual direction from author Heaven Leigh and her new book, ANGEL MICHAEL ORACLES. I agree with Yoland Martin’s Foreward to the book when she says, “This book is yet another testament to how deeply his (Michael’s) impact has been and will forever be felt. Heaven Leigh is a beautiful and talented soul who has gotten her assignment. She’s the author of some of the most beautifully written and soul-inspiring books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Heaven used her gifts to relay some of Michael’s most powerful messages to the world.”

In need of a spiritual message, I reread Heaven’s book today. Each read offers me more insight and a greater affection for both the words and the author. It is a book worthy of study. Henry David Thoreau said, “The world is but a canvas to the imagination.” The canvas to my imagination expanded when I read Heaven’s words: “Angel Michael Oracles are born from a marriage of minds. From spirit to spirit we all communicate. When one comes to another with urgent messages, it becomes a sacred trust to write out the impassioned words and share them.”

As you know, I strongly believe when you want to learn about Michael Jackson…YOU ASK HIM.

“You are each ‘letting me live again’ in your own wonderful ways by writing out what you hear from me-living your dreams as I taught you to do-and putting MORE love into your lives. Some of you must no doubt be wondering why you feel an ache to be near me now, why this phenomenon occurred after my body ceased to cling to spirit. The best way I can explain is to let you know that when the spirit leaves there is a release of energy-pure loving energy that falls gently into every other spirit that is open to receive.”

“When you do something and put your whole heart into it, and people don’t recognize its importance yet, realize that what you have created is what is important. It is part of eternity now. They will see when they are ready. You have done your part in the creation.”

“A person who appears to be a thorn in your side, may be there to bring out the deeper beauty in you. Blame keeps you in weakness. You are the only one who is truly responsible for your happiness.”

Speak For Me

Speak for me in love

These are the only words I use

Speak for me in deeds

Love in action changes lives

See into the world

Into intentions deep within

Wisdom from the heart

Written on the souls of men

When remuneration comes

Spread it far, to heal your world

Diamonds of the spirit

Clear and everlasting view

Speak for me in art

Tell my story with your hands

Speak for me in dance

Eternal movement of the soul

See into the heart

Go beyond the fame and face

Images of life

Death dares never to erase

When impersonation comes

Know the genuine in heart

Lenses of the spirit

See the ever steady truth

Listen to Magic

These are the thoughts to heal your fear

Listen to my joy

Fill your voice with healing words

Speak into the world

Tell of all who shall be free

Most of all I ask you

Let your actions speak for me

ANGEL MICHAEL ORACLES is overflowing with poetry and prose, crossing the divide between human and spirit, bringing Michael’s message: LOVE LIVES FOREVER. Michael lives inside its pages, punctuating each with message and love…all teachable moments. It is an emotional journey, one that leaves the reader both inspired and in awe.

My research has provided me with enough books to begin to think about calling it a MICHAEL JACKSON LIBRARY…each author’s perception emerging from the pages. When reading Heaven’s Leigh’s works: “Feel yourself being quietly drawn by the deeper pull of what you truly love.” Rumi Heaven Leigh’s love and connection to Michael Jackson is pure and unconditional and the deeper pull comes right off the page to me.

Chinese Proverb

If someone shares something of value and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.

Dear Friends, in my attempt to satisfy the Chinese Proverb, I offer Heaven Leigh’s book to you. Yesterday, I ordered two copies to give as birthday gifts to two friends I know will find inspiration on every page. Oh, I think I feel a breeze. Faith is returning. I love you all. I BELIEVE IN ME SO YOU BELIEVE IN YOU!

“It was August, and I was looking up at the sky. With one hand shielding my eyes, I made out a falcon soaring on the currents of hot swirling air. Higher and higher it spiraled, until with one unearthly shriek, it disappeared.

All at once I felt left behind. ‘Why did you grow wings without me?’ I mourned. Then my spirit said, ‘the falcon’s way is not the only way. Your thoughts are as free as any bird.’ So I shut my eyes and my spirit took off, spiraling as high as the falcon and then beyond, so that I was looking down over the whole earth. But something was wrong. Why did I feel so cold and alone?

‘You grew wings without me,’ my heart said. ‘What good is freedom without love?’ So I went quietly to the bed of a sick child and sang him a lullaby. He fell asleep smiling, and my heart took off, joining my spirit as it circled over the earth. I was free and loving, but still something was wrong.

‘You grew wings without me,’ my body said. ‘Your flights are only imagination.’ So I looked into books that I had ignored before and read about saints in every age who actually flew. In India, Persia, China, and Spain (even in Los Angeles!), the power of spirit has reached, not just into the heart, but into every cell of the body. ‘As if carried aloft by a great eagle,’ Saint Teresa said, ‘my ecstasy lifted me into the air.’

I began to believe in this amazing feat, and for the first time, I didn’t feel left behind. I was the falcon and the child and the saint. In my eyes their lives became sacred, and the truth came home: When all life is seen as divine, everyone grows wings.”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiyD2Erf3ek

Today,my early walk with Casey seemed to lack its usual spirituality. This week, life has been a challenge as my husband struggles with serious medical issues…he and I trying to summon courage as each day begins. Today, that courage was lacking and I found myself feeling weary and drained. Turning for home, a flock of crows swept by us, perching in nearby trees, noisily discussing the day ahead, their shiny black feathers glistening in the sun. I turned to check on Casey and noticed he had something black in his mouth. My patience running on empty, I scolded him and waved his pooper bag in front of him trying to distract him from eating whatever it was. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! Amazingly enough, the object disappeared and we continued toward home when I realized that whatever it was now was attached to Casey’s leash. It was a beautiful black crow’s feather. Hot tears rolled down my cheeks as I accepted this message of hope.

Michael Jackson was and is God’s messenger for the modern age. He put teachable moments in all aspects of his work…words, sounds, music, visuals. Through movement, his body told stories. Hours after returning home, with the crow’s feather sitting at my writing station, I selected from Michael’s wisdom the article I wanted to send out into the world. Almost immediately, I received this: “It will all be turned around. Truth is stronger than lies-like an eagle is stronger than a mouse. It isn’t important to Michael the spirit that Michael the man is vindicated, as much as it is important that INNOCENCE and LOVE be vindicated. To have these intentions be SO misunderstood hurts not only man, but mankind.” Heaven Leigh

Michael, Heaven and The Crow’s Feather, all helped me summon courage for today. My thoughts have been freed…I went to my husband’s hospital bed with a renewed spirit of hope, I found a measure of truth and I took flight.

I leave you with this: PEOPLE WHO WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE EXPERIENCED BEING NEAR HIM SAID THAT WHEN HE ENTERED INTO A ROOM, THE ROOM CHANGED. PEOPLE, CHILDREN FLOCKED TO MICHAEL. HIS LOVE FOR HUMANITY WAS EVIDENT IN THE WAY HE TREATED EVERY SINGLE PERSON HE MET. HE HAD NO EGO. HE WAS VERY HUMBLE. HE WAS A TEACHER WITH A MESSAGE. HE REACHED AND TOUCHED THE ENTIRE WORLD WITH HIS MUSIC. HIS BODY WAS A VESSEL THROUGH WHICH HE CHANNELED WHITE HOT ENERGY OF UNIVERSAL LOVE…THE LIFE FORCE OF GOD’S GLORY. HIS HAD EVERLASTING HOPE AND LOVE FOR MANKIND. HE WANTED EVERYONE TO SEE THIS CONNECTEDNESS, THIS BOND, THAT WE ALL SHARE WITH ONE ANOTHER, THE ANIMALS, THE TREES, EVERYTHING ON THE PLANET…THE MOON, STARS AND UNIVERSE. WE ARE ALL ONE.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, who shadowed Michael Jackson with Will iam, simply being flies on the wall, Michael was asked if this was an exploratory to get back into the music business…Michael replied, “I never stopped. I’m always writing a potpourri of music, you know, that’s how it is.”

I awakened this morning with many thoughts which connected to Michael’s reply, in my OWN way, minute as it is. I never stop Michaeling. And, today, it feels like a potpourri of ideas. “YOU KNOW, THAT’S HOW IT IS!” Breathing in the morning air filled with hints of springtime, I created out loud. The privacy of day’s start offers freedom, the sound of my voice falling only on Little Casey’s ears. At least, I THINK he was listening.

My mind is bursting with things I have learned and am thrilled to share. So, today, bear with me. Casey has taught me how to romp and that is what I am going to do. I am an outdoor walker. Fresh air and movement heal, and, while walking, I have a conversation with Michael. It is one-sided, not having found the gifts Heaven Leigh and Elizabeth Michelle Billeaudeaux possess, but, I do strive to listen. And sometimes, just sometimes, I hear…the question is answered, “Where is Michael taking me next?”

“Every time I lived my life the way he taught. Every time I defended him. Every time I gave to charity, gave food for the homeless, I was being there for him. I simply miss Michael too much to take solace for very long. As long as the spirit circle was unbroken, Michael would be protected. I felt it was not only a privilege, but a duty to continue to fight for Michael and never quit.” E.M. Billeaudeaux MICHAEL IN MY LIFE

“When you do something and put your whole heart into it, and people don’t recognize its importance yet, realize that what you have created is what is important. It is part of eternity now. They will see when they are ready. You have done your part in the creation.” Heaven Leigh ANGEL MICHAEL ORACLES

“MUSIC IS TAPESTRY. IT’S DIFFERENT LAYERS, WEAVING IN AND OUT, AND IF YOU LOOK AT IT IN LAYERS, YOU UNDERSTAND IT BETTER.” Michael Jackson

Layers, like billowing clouds, weave in and out of daily living. The tapestry of sounds and textures in Michael’s music are metaphors for the sounds and textures of life. Writing blog articles weaves a magic for me that presents layers. While listening this month, these layers have appeared:

Having the opportunity to have MICHAELJACKSONCHOSENVOICES.COM included in the first Michael Jackson Online Magazine “What’s REALLY Going ON?”.

Being invited to Co-Host with Heaven Leigh on her VALENTINE’S SPECIAL Blogradio show.

Joining Siren in her efforts to promote Michael’s book of poetry and prose DANCING THE DREAM.

Contributing to Brenda Jenkyns’ BOOK OF LOVE to be placed at Forest Lawn on June 25, 2014

Participating in CHILDREN’S INTERNATIONAL PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN.

Participating in MICHAEL JACKSON’S LEGACY CHARITIES.

This potpourri of opportunity has deeply touched my heart and brought me into some of the multi-layered efforts that are happening around the world. I am honored and humbled. I have dreams of doing more.

“My songs and dances are outlines for God to come in and fill. I hold out the form…She puts in the sweetness.” Michael Jackson

Remembering the week where millions of people around the planet tuned into the XXII Olympicshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxIy-gUWyjE…the outlines of Michael’s music and dance and style have been filled in by skaters. Arenas alight with the energy of Michael Jackson. His music excites and inspires young Olympians who competed for coveted medals. Another of Michael’s dreams realized: “AND MY GOAL IN LIFE IS TO GIVE THE WORLD WHAT I WAS LUCKY TO RECEIVE…THE ECSTASY OF DIVINE UNION THROUGH MY MUSIC AND MY DANCE.” MJ

“MICHAEL’S SYNERGY OF MUSIC AND STYLE WAS PART OF HIS GENIUS.” Michael Bush KING OF STYLE Dressing Michael Jackson

“As style of his own, Michael Jackson let his outer being expose the kind of positive and incomparable person he was. Some call his style choices avant-garde…others call them a tour de force. No one ever called them boring. His tour gear always proved to be ahead of the curve and his read carpet appearances were always a topic of conversations for those who didn’t even consider themselves to be immersed in the fashion spectrum. Michael Jackson dressed like a man prepared to fight a fashion war and come out victorious.” FASHION CELEBRATION ON MICHAEL’S 53RD BIRTHDAY FASHION ARTICLE. HONORING HIS BORN DAY

My romping is coming to an end. Hope I haven’t left you behind in a muddle. Layers and textures, especially those created by an unparalleled genius, take time to comprehend. The wondrous thing about this medium is that we can revisit the entire spectrum of Michael’s art whenever we choose…over and over and over. The more we learn, the more we want to learn. It is an adventure worth taking multiple times.

Thank you for coming along today. I hope you were inspired to visit and revisit Michael’s art. I love you.
